Please take some time to read Morain’s great two-part essay on conservative violence. A entirely too sober recounting on the basic unity of right reaction.
NEW: Part I of "Reflections on the Right and its Violence" by J. E. Morain
This essay on reactionary violence seeks to show the basic unity behind conservative acts of social murder, neo-nazi terror attacks, and everything in between.

After an insane Sept ‘41 letter from Horkheimer on the contradiction of all speech that betrays its unintended intent of “addressing others as possible members of the future association of free human beings” (communism latent in universality of language), Adorno replies in unconditional affirmation:

Author’s bio in a J.B.S. Haldane children’s book: “He thinks a lot of the magicians in old days were only doing, or trying to do, what scientists and engineers do now, and that science can be more exciting than magic ever was.”

Went to the National library today, and I’m pretty sure I saw every conceivable edition and translation of Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah. The environment and ecology (not included below) section was also sick as hell!

don’t worry Horkheimer also has an extended (& i think beautifully formulated) critique of Hegel in another one of the short essays we’ll be putting out in the “Dialectical Logic” collection!

Complicity of liberal institutions with the crackdown on student protest paved the way for the crisis of academia. To defend our work we must sever the link with the security state. Come join us at U of C tomorrow, where we will discuss how to confront the hiring of the inveterate liar John Kirby.

Since I returned back home, my pattern so far has been ~3 days of actually planned activity then being thrown into a whirlwind of contingency from illness to lawsuits. I’ve made peace that I can only work 3 days every 3 weeks.

ICYMI: Posted my latest pass at translating Adorno’s 1932 review of Dolf Sternberger’s diss on Dasein & Death in Heidegger’s B&T—which A says sets the stage for an immanent crit of Heidegger’s “ontologization of the ontic” via the revenge of the ontic on ontology

Look people, the Trump cuts to science is the culmination of liberal science, not an aberration of the pattern. Like, I’m sorry—the future of science lies precisely in a different set of institutions, not a return to the thing that got us here!

Adorno: “[O]ntic elements assumed into ontology exact their revenge. Heidegger’s ontological Entwurf [re:] the understanding of Being integrates elements which, because they belong to the mere ontic realm, withdraw from the understanding, … in the end, all that remains are empty words.”
